    1800's Padlock And Key...What's The Odds ?

    Jim, looking at it this way makes a very good case for the key belonging to the padlock. Your logic has convinced me. Wouldn't you like to know the story behind the lose.

    1800's Padlock And Key...What's The Odds ?

    I hunted an 1850's one-room schoolhouse site this week and among the things I found was a small brass paddock. After looking at it today I began to wonder about a brass key that I found at the same site last May. The key was found about 40 yards away from padlock. It is a barrel type key and...

    Schoolhouse Debris Field

    Thanks Ronstar.I will read and try to wrap my brain around it. It seems like a good method to get down pat and apply in the field to recover good targets in the trash laden sites.

    Schoolhouse Debris Field

    Thanks for the input Draco. It has writing on the back but I can't make it out.

    Schoolhouse Debris Field

    This week I went back to the field site of a one-room schoolhouse that I hunted last spring. While hunting it last spring it had the remnants of last years corn crop. This time it was in bean stubble that was cut this fall. The rows of stubble were very close together and were sticking up about...

    Dimes

    Most of the copper pennies have been taken out of circulation and so far fewer of them are being lost. When i'm detecting ,some of the zincs hit high enough to dig, and some don't. It seems like the amount of deterioration along with ground condition causes them to vary in signal quality. This...

    Went Out Today & Got?

    I hear you on the back ache. I have found that drinking lots of water several hours before, helps me with back issues.

    Finally got……

    It's nice when you get on the right spot. a nice array of finds there. I especially like the two-ring horse tack piece. The five war nickels from one site is almost unheard of. Nice hunting.

    My 1st Fatty 1864

    The Fatties don't "ring up" like the latter Indian Heads, which makes them a little harder to find. Nice recovery!

    Compadre finds a silver bucketlister

    Although you see them posted often, a true sterling thimble is not very easy to find. I have several thimbles but have only found one that is marked sterling like yours. Congratulations on the bucket lister.

    Another good spot the rest of the hunt

    Nice handful of coins. Wherever the buttons were found must be an old area.

    Dating a site by coin dates

    I have found coins that outdate the site I'm hunting by almost 100 years. Many sites such as curb strips and such had fill dirt brought in from other older sites when they were constructed. I think this is how many of the "out of context" coin finds happen to be in an area that you wouldn't...

    The Rosies I earned, the Barber was a gift.

    Nice hunting on investigating that 96-97 signal. Those high 90's numbers never pan out for me. Great 3 silver day Ron.

    Quick little hunt

    Looks like the Shilling was drilled to make it into a button. That's a nice variety of finds.

    Two in the hole

    One of my favorite types of finds, showing how one type of coin stayed in circulation years after another type is released. Great find.
